Magic's Gordon clears concussion protocol, available Tuesday

Orlando Magic leading scorer Aaron Gordon will be available to play on Tuesday after clearing the NBA's concussion protocol, the team announced on Monday. Always, always, always want to play and too bad I can't play tonight," Gordon told reporters after an independent NBA-appointed physician didn't clear him last week. Gordon, who averages 18.3 points, suffered his second concussion of the season in last Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.19 Mar @ 8PM

Miami trailed 91-90 after Kyle Kuzma made a 3-pointer for Los Angeles with 1:23 left.17 Mar @ 7AM

Short-handed Warriors blow past Lakers

Nick Young, Quinn Cook, Kevon Looney and Zaza Pachulia did all the scoring in an 18-3 run early in the third quarter that propelled the short-handed Golden State Warriors to a 117-106 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers to complete a season-series sweep Wednesday night in Oakland, Calif. Kevin Durant dropped in a game-high 26 points for the Warriors, who were playing without three All-Stars -- Stephen Curry (sprained right ankle), Klay Thompson (fractured right thumb) and Draymond Green (sore right shoulder).17 Mar @ 5AM

Long Live the Interim Lakers

The NBA is objectively more fun when the Lakers are good—and winning—and pissing everyone off. In the blink of an eye, we go from, "Hey, wait, the Lakers aren't terrible anymore" to talking about next year's playoff expectations, free-agency dreams and promises about a return to dominance. This is the most successful NBA franchise of the past 40 years so I get it.16 Mar @ 4PM

Isaiah Thomas won't accept sixth-man roles in free agency

Isaiah Thomas is self-aware enough to realize his value as a free agent has plummeted like Bitcoin in 2018. This time last year, Thomas, whose contract expires this summer, was expecting Boston to “back up the Brinks truck” and offer him a $200 million super-max contract. Instead, Thomas insisted to USA Today’s Sam Amick that he’s still a viable starting point guard in the NBA.16 Mar @ 4AM
